31. 鬱卒的天星 Unhappy Stars (bilingual children's poem)
10. 鬱卒的天星
天星是一陣無聽話的囡仔
想欲落來自由的土地行行咧
但是予月娘老師罰徛佇天頂
目睭三不五時偷偷仔振動一下
但是身軀一點仔攏毋敢徙走
汝看! 汝的好朋友火金姑
快快樂樂飛到西飛到東
有時好心閃燈火照人的路
有時走去佮樹伯仔扭關係
有時會參花姐仔跋感情
天星呀天星
以後上好做一个聽話的囡仔
到時汝若真正會當落來土地
Unhappy Stars
The stars are not obedient children
They desire to come down and wander around freely on Earth
But Moon Teacher forces them to stand in the sky
Sometimes they dare to move their eyes
But they don't dare move their bodies
Look! Your firefly friends
Fly everywhere happily
Sometimes giving their light to people
Sometimes playing with Uncle Trees
Sometimes talking to Sister Flowers
Oh! My dear stars
You should become obedient children
If you come down on Earth
You could be like the firefly
Then you and I also could become friends and play together
